Simple Virus Removal

Introduction: Simple Virus Removal

This is a simple tutorial on how to remove a very minor infection. If your computer is unusable and is having great difficulty afterwards I would recommend contacting professional services as the problem may be more robust. However if the machine just needs a quick and easy check, this is for you!

Step 2: Downloading and Installing the Program

At this point you will be redirected to the download page where you will get the installation file.

Once you click on the installation file that shows up in the lower left corner named Ninite Malwarebytes installation it will prompt you with a new window asking you to select yes or no for the installation to be allowed.

After this happens you will see a progress bar start stating that the program is download and installing.

Congratulations you have successfully installed the program!

Step 3: Running the Program

Now that you've successfully installed the program you will see an icon named Malwarebytes that will give you the same prompt required from the Ninite installation you did earlier. Go ahead and select yes to allow the program to open up.

After this you will see that new window shown in the picture. In the lower right corner you will see an option named "Scan Now", select this option to begin

Once the scan starts you will notice that it checks for updates before beginning. This is a normal step as the program needs the latest definitions, upon finishing it will begin the threat scan. Once this process starts kick back and relax as the computer scans. It may take 10 minutes or it could take 2 hours, results vary from computer to computer.

Step 4: Oh No You've Got Quite a Few Infections, Lets Remove Them!

So you've noticed that your computer has come back with a few items with a notification in the lower right hand corner. You will begin by making sure that all the items are placed in the quarantine box. If they aren't go ahead and select the quarantine all option in the lower left corner.

From here you will click the apply action button in the lower right corner.

You will receive a prompt requesting that you restart the computer, click yes to the prompt while the computer restarts.

Step 5: You're Clean!

At this point your machine should have rebooted into Windows. If you experience any quirks I still stand by my intro statement, take it to a professional. If it is running great then congratulations on your victory and enjoy a infection free computer!

If your system is infected with 1-866-352-8353 pop-up virus which appears as help but actually very deceptive causing slow processing, redirect issues, personal information endanger etc. Then you can go for its removal using free scan using an effective tool.

It depends on the depth of the infection. If it goes beyond this tutorial you would need to contact a professional service person. We provide the services at the company I work for but I would rather not turn this into a promotion for them.

That is true, I usually start off with a boot cd and various other programs well after we are able to get Windows stable. This is for setting people up who have little to no experience and are unable to spend money for a simple repair.
